We’ve found the best engagement party dresses to celebrate your big news in style

The warmer months always see a surge of engagements, and trust us, we’re not complaining about it – we love to swoon at those unique engagement rings on our Instagram feeds. But that does mean, if you’re the lucky bride-to-be, that you have an engagement party to plan and attend (which, let’s face it, is nearly as important as the big day itself). Planning which engagement party dress to wear is top priority – you want to look and feel your best when celebrating this magical event and receiving those engagement gifts. Who can blame you?

Your engagement party is the first of many wedding-related events, so it serves as the perfect opportunity to set the tone for not only your bridal style but also your wedding style to come. Will you go for traditional themes, or make a statement with lots of colour? You’ve also got your bridesmaid dresses to think of, a thoughtful mother of the bride gift to purchase, and let’s not forget THE dress you’ll wear while saying your vows. It’s the ideal time to start thinking about the concepts and themes that you want to continue throughout this exciting time so that everything ties together.

Now that larger outdoor parties are a-go, and everyone is in serious need of something to celebrate, it seems imperative that you make the occasion one to remember – and that includes your outfit, of course. An intimate engagement party doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t go all out on the ensemble – every budding bride deserves the best – and by the 21st June (if all goes according to the roadmap plan) there’ll be no limits on how you celebrate, where, or who it’s with.

Everyone’s favourite dress label, Galvan, knows exactly what you’re looking for with its Valencia dress. At a higher price point (though you deserve it), the silk design captures all the elegance and sophistication you could wish to exude. Similarly, Reformation’s enchanting Portofino design is certain to bring an influx of compliments your way. On the lower end of the price spectrum, ASOS has a variety of pieces for your special occasion – from white suits, to blush-hued satin gowns and sequin sets – for those of you who want to save your money for the wedding dress itself.

Grab yourself a cocktail and dig out your best pair of heels and clutch bag to match, we’ve got the engagement party looks sorted with everything from full-length frocks to sophisticated suits and playful mini dresses. We promise that whatever you choose it’ll complement your dazzling new engagement ring perfectly.
